Thank you to everyone who not only supported Mawthorne 1 Reborn to be successfully backed, but also everyone who supports my other games, by sharing, reposting, and helping my silly NES games come to life. I wanted be making them without you! And look forward to Mariana Sequence in 2026!

Yes I knew this and I still chose to keep the name 😅 (Tryptic's name in creation is a combination of the words Tryptych and Cryptic)

Who's ready? 😊 #nesdev #gamedev #indiegame #nes #retro

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

I think about the boss theme from the Tiny Toons Sega game too often.. there's just something about how it starts out as this Jaws-esque,"oh it's gonna be intense!" sound, then it's immediately like "anyway, here's another melody that doesn't really fit" 😅 youtu.be/FWqbNFax2YI?...

Nous serons présents au Japan Game Festival le week-end prochain (8 et 9 novembre 2025), à Lyon, pour présenter les nouveautés et avec les jeux du catalogue disponibles à l'achat. On espère vous y rencontrer !

Are you ready for another Mawthorne adventure? The game has finished development! Coming soon-ish probably maybe. #nes #nesdev #gamedev #indiegame

By the time I reach the end of developing a game, nearly all of my routines are foreign to me.. and I even add comments to help me later and still doesn't help! ";+#$80 for coords" Me: What does that mean?? What coordinates? Why +#$80?? I never used it in the routine.. What is this!? 😅

Over on itch, Mawthorne has been reduced to $5, and the original Shera is FREE. This is not a sale, it's a price reduction as these games are getting older. If you enjoy them, I hope you'll check out my newer games too 🙂 crazygrouptrio.itch.io/shera40thieves crazygrouptrio.itch.io/mawthorne-nes

I always get so sad when I see a fellow dev say "I can't do this part of my game." Usually art or music. Because you can. As one of my art professors told me: "Saying you can't do something is really saying 'I don't want to put in the time to learn how to do something.'" Inspirational perspective 🙂

So, here's a wild story. I randomly came across an image I altered years ago showing up in image searches. You may see this specific image pop up in searches relating to "Earthworm Jim background" or "wallpaper", that's more blue than the original.. yeah I'm the one who made it blue 😅 👇

There are multiple bosses in The Mariana Sequence, almost all of them are hidden. Will you be able to find them? And will you be able to defeat them once you do find them? #nesdev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

My goal for Mariana Sequence is to invoke that 90's feel of gaming comradery, when a friend or schoolmate would share something about a game you didn't know, and you'd be amazed when it did actually work. Mariana Sequence will be an exceptionally difficult game to "finish" without working together.

Great news for our American customers! 🎉 Orders to the USA are finally back! 🇺🇸 We’re now working with @dalyengames.bsky.social, a true homebrew enthusiast, who will act as our distributor in the US. Shipping fees stay the same, no extra charges, and no new customs taxes for you.

Mawthorne 1 Reborn is in the testing phase, so it's back to devving on The Mariana Sequence! The replayability on the final game is going to be wild and possibly destroy my brain trying to put it all together 🤕

Mawthorne 1 Reborn is coming along! It's a remake of the original game with Mawthorne 2's engine, with lots of updates and tweaks for a better experience. Also with lots of bonuses and extras 😉 #nesdev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

I'm really looking forward to getting back to working on The Mariana Sequence. For those who haven't played, it's essentially a sequel to Tryptic. I had only 2 rules for myself while making it: 1. Simply complex. 2. Don't let the player die. The finished game will be a wild ride 😁

Allright, trying this again: I'm selling a very early prototype build of the Fantastic Four / Fantastic 4 PS2 video game from a few years before its final release, and before it was a movie tie-in title! Link below. Please RT! www.ebay.com/itm/32669925...

Fans of any Romance of the Three Kingdoms games: What is your favorite ROTK or similar style game? I played ROTK 3: Dragon of Destiny as a kid, and I recently grabbed the SNES version and I'm enjoying it a lot. More recent versions aren't rated well so curious what other good ones are out there!

Beyond Mawthorne 1 Reborn being my final redemption arc, it was also an experiment using my own custom module in NESmaker to see if it would help me make games quicker and more efficiently... and it does 👍

Any of my fellow NESmakers feel like the NESmaker community has kind of... gotten worse? It's not BAD, but it's definitely worse than it once was, and it casually annoys me. Perhaps most of the cool devs have moved away and I've been around too long. Or I'm old and I just complain about things 😅

You can find us on various social networks. Hopefully there's at least one where you can follow us 🙂 You'll find all the links right here: ➡️ linktr.ee/homebrewfact...

Quite a library we're building up, eh?

For some clarity to the inevitable question, "why make a remake when you could make Mawthorne 3??", it's for both personal and non-personal reasons... Shera had it's shortcomings from my inexperience, so I did a remake of that, and Mawthorne was my first BIG game, and had it's own shortcomings...

It is time to reveal my next game: Mawthorne 1 Reborn, a remake of my original Mawthorne game, completely remade in Mawthorne 2's engine for a better and smoother experience. I'm planning a small physical release later this year! #nes #nesdev #gamedev #indiegame

For anyone interested, I've been doing a casual let's play of Final Fantasy X. It's a chill playthrough to re-experience the game (i.e. I don't talk over cutscenes) so if you need to revisit this game and don't hate my voice give it a try. We're several episodes deep already! youtu.be/OGE7SH3EVIA
